Park Gems are the server's premium currency. You buy them in bundles on the web store and spend them in the Gem Shop — one hub for cosmetics, skins, plushies, blocks, and account services.
The no-gamble rule
Every single Park Gem purchase is a known, visible item — you always see exactly what you're getting before you buy. Gems never buy a random outcome. Crate keys, raid vouchers, and shiny tokens stay on the gamble path (bought with real money directly or earned in-game) and are never purchasable with Park Gems.
Account-bound
Park Gems are account-bound — the currency is non-transferable, so you can't pay them to another player, list them on the GTS, or sell them in a chest shop. They only spend inside the Gem Shop.
Getting Park Gems
Buy a bundle
parkballgang.com/store sells five gem bundles plus a one-time starter pack, delivered to your account instantly:
| Bundle | Gems | Price (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Gem Pouch | 250 | £2.49 |
| Gem Satchel | 550 | £4.99 |
| Gem Chest | 1,200 | £9.99 |
| Gem Hoard | 2,600 | £19.99 |
| Gem Treasury | 7,000 | £49.99 |
| Starter Gem Pack (one per account) | 1,000 | £4.99 |
Prices are shown in GBP; the store may convert to your local currency at checkout. Every bundle above scales up in value — the bigger the bundle, the more gems you get per pound.
The free trickle
Climbing the Pokédex Ranks ladder pays out a small one-off gem reward at every tier, from 25 gems at Wanderer up to 500 gems at Ascendant — 2,050 gems in total across all 10 tiers. It's a nice bonus on the way to 100% Dex completion, not a farmable income — once a tier is claimed, that gem reward is gone for good.
Nothing else grants Park Gems. Voting, crates, and quests stay gem-free.
The Gem Shop
Open the Gem Shop at the Gem Merchant NPC at spawn or with /gemshop (/parkgems also works). It's the one entry point for every gem purchase on the server:
| Category | What's inside |
|---|---|
| Cosmetics | The full cosmetics catalogue, priced by rarity, plus the Boutique featured rotation |
| Skins | Direct-buy Pokémon skins from every crate line — Galaxy, Summer, Anime, Easter |
| Plushies | Every vanilla-mob plushie |
| Blocks | Every PBG decorative block family |
| Services | Nickname unlocks, catch-up passes, and personal boosters |
| Balance / Buy Gems | Your current balance, and a pointer to the web store |
Cosmetics, by rarity
| Rarity | Price |
|---|---|
| Common | 250 gems |
| Uncommon | 450 gems |
| Rare | 750 gems |
| Epic | 1,200 gems |
The Boutique is a rotating featured selection inside the Cosmetics category, always priced 20% below the rarity price above (so a featured Common is 200 gems, a featured Epic is 960). See Cosmetics for the full catalogue.
Skins — direct buy vs. crate keys
A crate key buys a random skin from that line's pool. Buying directly in the Gem Shop gets you the exact skin you want, no RNG, at a premium over the key's expected cost:
| Skin tier | Price |
|---|---|
| Common | 1,500 gems |
| Uncommon | 2,000 gems |
| Rare | 2,800 gems |
| Epic | 3,500 gems |
| Legendary | 5,000 gems |
Each of the four skin lines (Galaxy, Summer, Anime, Easter) has its own shop, plus a daily-rotating Featured row at 20% off. See Pokémon Skins for the collections and which skins sit at which tier.
Plushies, Cuddlemon and blocks
Every PBG-made item is Gem Shop-only — vanilla-mob plushies, Cuddlemon plushies, and PBG's decorative block families are no longer sold for Pokédollars anywhere.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Vanilla-mob plushie | 100 / 150 / 200 / 300 gems, depending on the plushie |
| Cuddlemon plushie — Common | 250 gems |
| Cuddlemon plushie — Uncommon | 400 gems |
| Cuddlemon plushie — Rare | 750 gems |
| PBG decorative block | 1 gem each (a stack of 64 is about 64p) |
The Cuddlemon Crate stays the gamble path for pulling a random Cuddlemon — see Plushies.
